On this episode of the Bellator Christi Podcast, we talk to Dr. Amy Downey, the founder of Tzedakah Ministries, about the ancient Jewish sect known as the Essenes. The Essenes are known for being the caretakers of what later become known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Were some of the early Christians linked to the Essene community? What impact did Jesus’ message hold for those in the Essene community? What were the theological beliefs of the Essenes and how did they differ from the Pharisees? On the second half of the show, Amy discusses how Christians can minister to Jewish Millennials. How do Jewish Millennials differ from Jewish Gen-Xers and Boomers? Find out this and much more on this edition of the Bellator Christi Podcast.
